Worship and Music

As we head into the month of August and “enjoy” the heat and humidity of our area, Advent, Christmas and Epiphany are in the forefront of my mind.  It may seem as if those church seasons are far in the future, but time has a way of slipping by very quickly and before any of us are ready, November will be here.

The choirs and the handbell ensemble have taken time off this summer, as usual, but we will be          resuming regular practices in August and September.  Keep an eye on your bulletins and newsletter         calendars for the most current information.

As in the past, I’d like to extend an invitation to singers in the congregation to join the choir during Advent and Christmas.  I know that time-constraints and prior commitments may prevent some people from being a part of the choir on a full-time basis; if this is true for you, but you’d like to sing with the choir during December, please plan to attend our workshop on August 17 from 9 AM to 12 PM.  We will be working on Advent and Christmas music and I will provide lunch for everyone who attends.
